I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

When you go into a game on offense, you make a couple moves and see what the defender is going to do. Then you pretty much can figure out what he is going to do against you - whether he carries his hands low or high, whether he is bumping or pushing, those type of things.

Just because it is an All-Star Game doesn't mean that you are playing as efficiently as you should.

I think no one has written a history of the great coaches who were around 30 to 40 years ago who taught the fundamentals.

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

There's so many young peoople who start to play basketball and never learn the fundamentals.

I think that basketball players should get the job done no matter how it looks on the screen.
